I don't really buy the "neurotrophic theory" for all depression. I think there are specific brain circuts that cause sour moods, depression and pain and its just a matter of modulating them or turning them off.
In some cases of depression, there is evidence of neuroanatomical abnormalities. However, antidepressant induced "neurogenesis" has only been demonstrated in certain brain regions and how this would lead to improvement in depression is uncertain.
